They memoralize con-| gress and the president of the United States to favor and encourage i a policy which will cause foreign | jnations, to which the United States | sends its surplus farm products, to remove the custom duties from such ; shipments, and they ask for a repeal of the tax upon farming implements | jand the raw materials which enter into their construction, which tax | increases the cost of these articles to the consumer. This is laying the| ax at the root of the tree. This is taking a step in the direction of an intelligent and practical plan and re- lief. This is a direct blow at the great evil which is operating against | the interests of the farmers. The! hope of cure must always be based upon a knowledge of the disease. | When the malady becomes clearly | and unmistakably defined, the ques- tion of treatment is greatly simpli- fied. The farmers are finally begin- ning to realize the nature of the dif- ficulties against which they have been contending. When they all come to this saving light and know- ledge, it will be an easy matter to remove them. The tariff reformers | in the St. Louis convention greatly outnumbered the protectionists, and this proves that the campaign of ed- ucation is expanding in its influence} and is gaining new converts to the truth. The action of the Wheat Growers’ association is significant | of the vitality of the tariff issue and | of the growth of the reform senti- ment among the classes which have | been tardy in accepting it, but to| which it promises the only certain; relief from the burdens under which | they have been toiling without hope of adequate reward.—Kansas City Star.

BUTLER MISSOURI } WEDNESDAY, 1889 -_—————— THE LIGHT QUESTION. In another column will be found the light ordinance, with call for anelection on the 12th of November, to accept or reject thelsame. There is no question as to the imperative need of a light system for Butler, and the one submitted appears to be an excellent proposition, for the amount of money paid, the only question is will the revenue vf But- er justify so expensive a system, when a cheaper system could be had that would meet the present demands of the city. The citizens of Butler have recently voted a debt of $4,000 per annum for water-works. The current expenses heretofore have run over $4,000 per annum, and an addition ef $1,800 would run our expenses up in the neighborhood of $10,000 per year. Our revenue from current taxes, fines etc., amounts to between four and five thousand dollars. If we organize as a city of the 3rd class, by levying an occupation tax, $1,500 or $2,000 could possibly be raised; counting in all about $6,000. Now this leaves between three and four thous- and dollars expenses over and above the revenue each year. This not a very pleasant view of the mat- ter to take but is it not better to consider these things before than after. Water-works, electric light, gas, etc., are valuable improvements for a tuwn and a decided luxury to ité citizens and will no doubt have its influence in inducing people to locate among us, but the question if high taxes and a heavy bonded debt on the city wouldn’t have the effect of driving them away, thereby over- balancing the good effect produced by these improvements. Sometimes a populace moved by impulse and enthusiasm will vote for a proposi- tion, that on calm reflection and in a OCT. 30, is Charley Morgan attended the tar- iff reform mecting, and it was a pleasure to his legion of friends in Vernon to welcome him.
